President Buhari’s letter to APC on 17, March 2022

 

The letter: 

   “As you are all aware, the All Progressives Congress, APC, is currently facing a heavy of controversies and level of uncertainties that may ultimately question its status and affect the status and feasibility of its proposed National Convention.

“In addition, it has come to my attention that, because of recent events, the APC is faced with a so much many of court cases pending against it in various courts across the Nation.

“As a result of this, the party faces the possibility and prospect of the invalidation of all its activities and actions by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

“Again, the party has demonstrated its inability to proceed with the issue of effecting change in the leadership of its Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, in a way that is inclusive, legal and respectful of the time limit set and required for giving the INEC sufficient notice of the time and venue for holding its convention.

“No doubt, these controversies and uncertainties, as enumerated above, pose a real threat to the party; and may lead to a possible not-recognition of its activities, elections and the probable invalidation of all its other actions by INEC. This may ultimately even lead to its implosion and non-existence.

Therefore, an urgent need for the party also, as much as we can, avoid all controversies, litigations and all other necessary distractions and quickly get its acts together.

Therefore, I would like now to direct as follows:

“First, The leadership of the Caretaker Extra Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), must immediately return to status quo ante;

“Second, all the Governor’s Forum and their followers should remove from any behaviour or utterance that will likely lead to disunity in the ranks of the party, and ultimately jeopardise the transition to the convention;

“Third, Mai Mala Buni led CECPC should, accordingly, be allowed to proceed with all necessary preparations to the convention as planned— unfailingly, on 26th March 2022.”
